Instruction

The Li-polymer Battery HAT integrates SW6106 power bank management chip, allows providing 5V regulated power supply to your Raspberry Pi or other 5V devices, from a high capacity Li-polymer battery. It will charge the battery as well, supports bi-directional quick charge.

Features

• Onboard SW6106 chip, supports bi-directional quick charge, supports multi quick charge protocols like PD/QC/FCP/PE/SFCP
• Lithium battery protection circuitry, provides reverse protection, overcharge protection, and short circuit protection
• Onboard indicators: quick charge, power capacity
• PH 2.0 battery connector, for connecting the 3.7V 3000mA high capacity Li-polymer battery (MSDS certified)

Specifications

• Output voltage: 5V
• Charge voltage: 5V
• Applicable battery: 3.7V Li-polymer battery (4.2V when full charged)
• Dimension: 65.0mm × 56.5mm
• Mounting hole size: 3.0mm

Interfaces and Indicators

• Interfaces

Interface	Description
Micro USB	Charge
USB Type-A	Power output
USB Type_C	Suports chrage, quick charge and power output

• There are five battery indicators.

Capacity	LED1	LED2	LED3	LED4	LED5
80%~100%	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON
60%~80%	ON	ON	ON	ON	Blink
40%~60%	ON	ON	ON	Blink	OFF
20%~40%	ON	ON	Blink	OFF	OFF
5%~20%	ON	Blink	OFF	OFF	OFF
1%~5%	Blink	OFF	OFF	OFF	PFF
0%	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF

• Quick start indicator

When you connect power adapter to Type_C interface for quick charging, the Quick Charge indocator will turn on. If it keeps on, maybe that your adapter doesn't support quick charge.

• Standby button

Single-press it to output 5V, and double-press it to set it to sleep mode.

SAFETY CAUTIONS

• Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage, if they're not properly recharged or used.
• Do not reversely connect the polarities when recharging or discharging the battery. Do not use inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
• Do not mix use old batteries with new ones, avoid using batteries of different brands.
• When buying Lithium battery, should always make sure the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from formal manufacturer, and ensure the batteries will work stably and safely by aging test.
• Lithium batteries have limited cycle life, they will also deteriorate as time goes by. Should be replaced with new ones when the batteries reaching their max cycle life, or working over two years, whichever comes first.
• Should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from inflammables and explosives articles, away from children, avoid any safety accident caused by careless storage.

How to use

Discharge

Connect it to Raspberry Pi

• Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
• Step2: Single-press Standby button, set it to discharge mode
• Step3: Attach it on Raspberry Pi for powering.

For other devices.

• Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
• Step2: Single-press Standby button, set it to discharge mode
• Step3: Connect it to other devices by USB cable or wires.

Charge

Charge

• Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
• Step2: Connect power adapter to micro USB or Type-C interface by USB cable

Quick charge

• Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
• Step2: Connect power adapter (support quick charge) to type_C interface by USB cable
• Step3: Check if the Quick charge indicator turns on.

Notices

• Module enter sleep mode when the working current is less than 40mA and stop to discharge.
• The Quick charge mode only works when you connect a power adapter that supports quick charge.
• To power Raspberry Pi, you can attach it on the GPIO or connect Type_A interface to Pi by USB cable.
• This module cannot work as UPS. It will turn off Raspberry Pi when low-voltage.
• The battery is about 4.2v when fully charged. Note that you should discharge the battery to 3.0, otherwise it is damaged.
• Please disconnect any devices when you replace battery.
• DO NOT change the battery provided with other battery without protective panel.
• Please check the poles of the battery interface carefully when you connect batteries.
